Re: Guidance on individual packages requiring x86_64-v2 baseline ?

Please note that switching to x86_64-v2 does *not* give you access to AVX2 or even AVX. It stops at SSE4.2 with POPCNT.

AVX2 means x86_64-v3, which both excludes a lot more hardware and allows (in some cases) much more significant performance gains.

Maybe it's a good time for the Fedora 41 System-Wide change proposal? Switching to AVX2 will give significant performance boost for many applications.
